The issue isn't really that upower requires systemd so much as that portage can't figure out that it makes more sense in this case to switch to upower-pm-utils. Sure, you could satisfy the dependency graph by switching from udev to systemd, but portage doesn't have any way to know that doing this is a huge change to the system vs just switching to the alternative upower. It is just trying to find a set of packages that satisfy the dependencies and the solution it settled on works, and is the preferred solution since kdelibs lists upower first. The real solution here is better communication. There is a blurb going into the next GMN, but it doesn't mention stable users, and obviously the timing isn't right. Rich
